  • Singular integral equations and realization: A survey of the state space method 

    Gantsho, Yolanda Vuyokazi (University of the Western Cape, 1996)
    Different methods for solving singular integral equations exist. One of the most recent methods is the so-called state space method. This method is based on the fact that a rational matrix function VV(^) which is analytic ...

    Chaava, Thebisa Hamukoma (University of the Western Cape, 2005)
    The high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Zambia has led to the development of innovative ways of coping with sickness related to this infection. HIV/AIDS home-based care is one such innovation designed in Chikankata Hospital in ...
  • Stochastic modelling in bank management and optimization of bank asset allocation 

    Schalkwyk, Garth Van (2009)
    The Basel Committee published its proposals for a revised capital adequacy framework(the Basel II Capital Accord) in June 2006. One of the main objectives of this framework is to improve the incentives for state-of-the-art ...
  • Strong simplicity of groups and vertex - transitive graphs 

    Fadhal, Emad Alden Sir Alkhatim Abraham (University of the Western Cape, 2010)
    In the course of exploring various symmetries of vertex-transitive graphs, we introduce the concept of quasi-normal subgroups in groups. This is done since the symmetries of vertex-transitive graphs are intimately linked ...
  • A survey of the computer enhanced services of the Outreach Project of UWC developed for grade 12 mathematic learners and a critical appraisal of the MICSEC2000 program. 

    Isaacs, Brian Ernest Leonard (University of the Western Cape, 2005)
    The Outreach Project of the University of the Western Cape has since 1982 through various computer supported services been assisting grade 12 mathematics learners and educators at previously disadvantaged Western Cape high ...
  • Test of the overreaction hypothesis in the South African stock market 

    Itaka, Jose Kumu (University of the Western Cape, 2014)
    This research undertakes to investigate both long-term and short-term investor overreaction on the JSE Limited (JSE) over the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2009. The period covers the restructuring and reform ...
  • Throughput of UWC students who did at least one semester of third-year Statistics 

    Latief, Abduraghiem (University of the Western Cape, 2005)
    The study explores the completion rates (the number of years a student takes to complete a degree) of graduates at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in South Africa. The graduates in the study all did at least one ...
  • Topogenous Structures on Categories 

    Iragi, Minani (University of the Western Cape, 2016)
    Although the interior operators correspond to a special class of neighbourhood operators, the closure operators are not nicely related to the latter. We introduce and study the notion of topogenous orders on a category ...

  • Transport modelling in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area 

    Munyakazi, Justin Bazimaziki (University of the Western Cape, 2005)
    The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. In this ...
  • Ultrafilters and Compactification 

    Nxumalo, Mbekezeli Sibahle (UWC, 2020)
    In this thesis, we construct the ultrafilter space of a topological space using ultrafilters as points, study some of its properties and describe a method of generating compactifications through the ultrafilter space. As ...
  • Valuation of options for hedging against exchange rate exposure 

    Don, Marlon Junaide (University of the Western Cape, 2019)
    The risk associated with currency exposure is one of the main sources of risk in terms of internationally diversi ed portfolios. Controlling the risk is important for improving the performance of international investments. ...
  • Variances of purity within torsion-free Abelian groups 

    Van Ster, Lynnette (University of the Western Cape, 1994)
    In 1921, Prufer introduced the concept of a pure subgroup of an abelian group. This concept, which is applicable only to abelian groups, proved to be a very useful one. Subsequently, this concept has sparked off numerous ...
